I liked St Doug and I kinda dissapointed they missed out on that opportunity. I think they may of hit a home run with Sean McDermott. So I am willing to forget Rex Ryan and not taking St. Doug more serious. Russes lipstick is all over the Rex hire. Edited May 3, 2018 by 3rdand12

Oh, and I’ve yet to see her make a misstep that caught my eye. Most people say something stupid that gets noticed if you’re in the public eye that much. Do you have a problem with her for some reason? I'm a Sabres fan. So yeah.

But i would want nothing less than Great People to root for . And I surely want them to have wonderful successes in Buffalo sports. Rochester Americans etc. and a strong and positive influence in the city of Buffalo. The trick is often hiring the right Folks to make it happen in the manner you wish, over time. i think they have, a clue and learning as they go is fine 1 1

I trust them to work through things until they find the right recipe. I feel they will get appropriate professional help. Time will tell.

Build a new stadium with private money, then we can talk. 1

Russ Brandon sold out a Team in a League that sells out in a City that always sells out and was thought of being impressive by some. Not I. Kim will do better as she will do things for the right reason for the City, fans and Team! She will not have alterier motives sacrificing one for the other and her personal best interests firsts. A good leader listens to their team and talents that surround them. Kim does that!! We are in a better position today than two days ago! Go Bills!

I think they wanted to possibly combine both organizations using Russ Brandon so everything would be streamlined for them. Only for reasons Russ Brandon isn't that guy anymore. So Kim is the one stepping in for Russ Brandon. I mean it's not impossible to think she maybe was learning everything behind the scenes and being very involved already.

I've got nothing but time. You can't fire owners. Criticism of the Pegulas is fair. They haven't done a good job. They have definitely tried, no question. A lot of money spent so far with little to show for it. 1

I get it, she has to prove she’s competent. I think’s it’s either temporary or a figure head. I am confident they know enough to get sports professionals to lord over all this. 1

They have also shown the ability to learn and correct mistakes. These are good people who won't give up easily. The success of an organization is not just based on good decisions. The Sabres won the lottery and will draft Rasmus Dahlin, they lost McDavid before.. bad luck, generational talent. Eichel was not a bad back up prize, but no McDavid-bad luck. This time they may have gotten it right with the Bills, ended the drought by hiring McBeane, corrected a mistake, NFL people respect it. The people in charge have made decisions now they need some good fortune with Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmunds.

Each hire worse than the last IMO. 1
